The cry o1 some Oh tlle PtpeIS -,
educate the girls" Since 1865 the
Southern girls have hadlall advantages
over the boys, and, as a consequence,
they are much better educated. 1t is
time now to educate the boys, unless
the women are to rule all around.-

From the standpoint of the Amcri-
can public man, General Boulanger
must seem an imbecile. He has in
vited serious embarrassment by refus-
ing to deny that he said what the
newspapers said he said. And his
only reason for this curious conduct is
that he did really say it.-lSt. Louis

If United States District Attorney
Walker brings suit as he proposes
against the Church OF the Holy Trinity
for the engagement of foreign pastor
we predict that he will be thrown out
of court. No sensible judge can take
SO ridiculous view Of the act of Con.
gress prohibiting the importation OF
foregn labor.-[New York Herald, Ind.
The labor Democrats will not sup
port party that proposes to deprive
them of the incidental protection
which revenue tariff properly ad-
justed gives, and the poor people
whose children are growing up without
education will not support a party
opposed to using some of the vast sur
plus in establishing Schools Nash

1t is wonderful smile, that OF the
Presidents. 1t goes on attending to
business in its methodical way, con-
ferring equa, rights of courtesy on all.
including Indians not taxed, while the
President calmly stands behind it and
goes through the closets OF his mem
ory or turns the kaleidoscope OF his
Imagination and looks with the spec
tacles of experience at the promise OF
the future Kansas City Times, Dem.
The President has now had a chance
to make a pretty fair general estimate
of the Western people. He must enjoy
their blunt, offhand way as much as
they admire his directness and simpli-
city. The chances are that it is case
OF mutual love at first sight. Mime
sofa ought to give Grover Cleveland
from 10000 to $4,000 majority at the |
polls in November, 1SSS.-[Brooklyn
Eagle, Dem.
The President has seen the people.
He has spoken to them respectfully,
cordially, with dignity and in fitting
phraseology. Nothing has been said
by him in questionable taste, or in the
least unworthy the occasion. This is
entirely true of all his speeches. 1t is
to be regretted that there has been a
partisanship or personal spite which
would insinuate anything to the con-
trary.-[ Boston Herald, Ind.
Cranks make revolutions, said
witty labor agitator. True, and they
are just as apt to turn the wrong as
the right way. 1t is of the very es-
sence of the crank that it knows moth
ing about the practical outcome of its
turning. With eyes fixed on the
New Jerusalem afar off, but, he is
sure, straight ahead, the crank sees
nothing of the present effect he pro-
duces, often cares nothing at all about
it, and often gloats over the good
things that are destroyed, because he
fancies that even the best and grand
est fruits of all past civilization must
be swept away in order to make room
for the New Jerusalem he has begun
to build.-[New York Tribune, Rep.
After all, polygamy is but one man.
Hesitation of the evil of Mormonism.
The radical objection to it is its essen
TALLY un-American and undemocratic
character. 1t is in direct opposition
to the fundamental principles of onr
Government, ir that it means the rule |
of church or hierarchy, and not the
people. 1t places the temporal au-
thority of the church above that OF the
national Government, and authorizes
its members to perjure themselves in
the national Courts. The admission
of Utah under present circumstances
will throw the State Government
into the hands of the church. There
is a much larger nut to crack here
than polygamy.-lNew York World
(Qem.).
As the State where John Brown
lived and fought for the liberation of
the negro, where New England col
onization societies put forth every
effort to check the progress OF slavery,
and where hundreds of colored peo-
pie only recently took refuge in the
exodus from the South, Kansas is the
last place in the whole North where
we should expect to find a color line.
1t was but few weeks ago that the
journals of that State were saying
very bitter things about race discrim-
ination in the South while the Glenn
bill was under consideration in the
Georgia Legislature. 1t is surpris
ing, therefore, to hear that the whole
problem of race co-education has
been fought out at Fort Scott, Kan,
and that the negro has iost-has
been denied admission to the |
white public schools, has been told !
his place and instructed to keep it.
Yet such is the case, humiliating as it |
is. 1t ought to afford lesson to those
politicians who make it a business to
trace color lines through the South for
partisan effect.-[Springfield Repub-
lican, Ind. Rep.
